Forgive me, I have no experience in this field at all.
Wondering I am, there's a lot of talk here on how to avoid letting the stowaways into wheel wells and how to check if they're there...

Is it worth looking more carefully at airport security? Surley this is a far cheaper and easier method to implement?

There was a mention of two stowaways who hid in long grass and managed to get past the security escorting the aircraft to the hold-short. If the grass were cut, would they have been less likley to reach the aircraft as they'd have been spotted earlier?

Relating to the security issue, if people can get onto the airfield and into aircraft, what's stopping them getting near enough to fire a shoulder mounted rocket towards a smaller aircraft?
